By the looks of the tweet, GS9’s Rowdy Rebel and Migos affiliates Rich The Kid and Domingo will be apart of the mixtape. No release date has been announced for the project.
Fabolous has stopped by The Breakfast Club to spread some holiday cheer and talk about his upcoming album, The Young OG Project, which drops Christmas day.
The album has a 90’s theme, which includes samples of hits like LL Cool J’s “Doin’ It Well,” but the Brooklynite says not getting the proper sample clearances may keep some of the songs from seeing the light of day.
“There’s a song that me and Chris Brown did. We did “Oochie Wally” over. There was a song with me, Nicki and Trey Songz. We had some clearance issues out of no where.”
Fab also gave his view on the Diddy and Drake scuffle that happened over Drake allegedly stealing the “0 to 100” beat from Diddy. The “Lituation” rapper said he could relate because his Ne-Yo assisted hit “Make Me Better” was almost Eve’s song.
“”Make Me Better” was given to Eve and Eve had it as some kind of album cut and we had to go sit with Eve and be like ‘Please give us the song! This is a hit single for me!’ and she actually gave it up.”
Press play to see him talk more about the Young OG Project, whether he and Ray J have made peace, fatherhood and more.

Camille Cosby has finally broken her silence amid the rape scandal involving her husband, Bill Cobsy. She issued a statement through CBS saying her husband of 50 years is not the man the media have been portraying him to be. She also compared this scandal to the gang rape allegations at the University of Virginia this year that turned out to be false.
Nineteen women, including supermodel Beverly Johnson, have come out saying that the TV dad drugged and sexually assaulted them. These allegations span over the 40 years.
As the scandal goes on, colleges are continuing to distance themselves from the defamed comedian.
Spelman College has reportedly severed ties with Cosbys and temporarily discontinued a visiting professor program named after them called the William and Camille Olivia Hanks Cosby Endowed Professorship, which was created in 1966 after the couple made a $20 million donation.
The women’s college issued a statement saying that professorship was being suspended.
“The current context prevents us from continuing to meet these objectives fully,” the statement said. “Consequently, we will suspend the program until such time that the original goals can again be met.”
Cosby also resigned from the board of trustees at his alma mater Temple University while his other alma mater, the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, asked him to step down from their fundraising committee. The Berklee College of Music and High Point University have also ended their partnerships with him.

I can’t say how this case against Bill Cosby has me astonished. Thus far – and I could be wrong – nobody has produced a shred of evidence. There have only been allegations. Now that is not to say that Bill is innocent, but just a statement of fact. Of course he could have done it. There are like 15-20 women accusing him of heinous acts of rape and deception. So, why would Bill be facing jail time? Some have theorized that he is going to catch a case. Well, somebody is accusing him of doing something in 2008, which would mean, IF there is an investigation, Bill could catch a case. I am thinking Bill in 2008 is not really screwing mad chicks in the Playboy mansion. But, this is what Chloe Goins, 24, is saying. She claims when she was 18, Bill drugged her and when she woke up, he was licking her toes. I can’t call it, but at least one of these claims has to be opportunist. At this point in history, anybody can get it.
But, on lawyer said the most that will come out of this is a massive, career-ending shame-fest. No charges.

According to reports, Mónika “Mitsou” Miczura has filed a lawsuit claiming Beyoncé used her voice from a 1995 rendition of the folk song “Bajba, Bajba Pelem” without her permission. Mitsou is asking the Manhattan Supreme Court to prohibit any others from playing “Drunk In Love.” She is seeking unspecified damages as well.
The sample in question apparently appears in the first 13 seconds of “Drunk In Love.” The lawsuit alleges Mitsou’s voice was digitally altered on the record.
The suits also states that Bey and Jay’s song “evokes foreign eroticism alongside the sexually intense lyrics” and the “blatant unauthorized use of [Mitsou’s] voice for trade purposes is causing irreparable harm and emotional distress.”

“I don’t f**k with the state of rap,” said Rocky. “I f**k with a couple of artists. I hate these rap n***as to be honest.”
The creator of the number one album Long.Live.A$AP went further into explaining his thoughts on the present rap scene. In Rocky’s view, rappers are more interested in being hustlers than being artists.
“We have to treat this s**t like an art form, because it’s the laughingstock. I say this all the time. I have this conversation with people all the time,” he added. “Rap is no longer considered a musical genre. It’s either ‘Hip-Pop,’ or it’s motherf**kers just trying to hustle.”
